The Hungarian state secretary for family and youth called for the new EU Youth Strategy to put more emphasis on the challenges facing young people wanting to start a family, saying that the current demographic situation makes the issue especially pressing.

The forint is finding a new equilibrium level, adjusting to conditions on international markets, Finance Minister Mihály Varga said in an interview published in Friday’s issue of business daily Világgazdaság.

The opposition Socialist Party has accused Fidesz of waging an austerity programme by abolishing the preferential tax in several instances and scrapping employee benefits such as the so-called cafeteria system.

International economic players agree with the government’s assessment that Hungary is on a sustainable growth path, allowing the economy to expand by about 4% both this year and the next, the finance minister told commercial InfoRádió.
